I think it's possible to get a high seed. Gotta beat some good teams and not have any loses to below top 25 teams. If we go some like 31-3 I could see us getting a 2. With this team, i think its possible

I think this is a pretty good starting point for us.

Agreed. Think that is more than fair. Get through November unscathed and then the gauntlet begins at Cintas.

We're at #7 in the ESPN rankings.

Thank goodness for Wichita State. Look where the rest of this conference is. Shame on you Uconn and Memphis.

Its really not that bad.


We have 8 teams in the top 100.

And I think UCF is hugely underrated even with out Dawkins.

SI - #6
ESPN BPI - #6
Now this ESPN Gasway 1-351 - #7
ESPN Power - #9
KenPom - #11
AP - #12
USA Today - #13

Bearcats are back!

Whats funny is the switch from March to now in respect were getting (especially from ESPN).

If I recall they had us at around #23 going into this year and highlighted the loss of Troy. Some of the higher ones had us around 16 early.

Now I haven't seen much below that USA Today 13.

Looks like someone did their homework over the summer.

Hopefully this early respect will translate into higher seeds. If we win most of the big games, and minimize bad losses the ball should be in our court this time around.

If we play well this season, with our schedule and a home n home with Wichita state, there is no 3-4 seed cap. I'm sorry, look where we are starting in rankings this year. We never get this kind of preseason hype. The analysts; know who we are and so will the rest of the country soon enough

We have to win the cayman island tournament and Iowa won’t go down easy, otherwise it’s just preseason hype. Once a team like UC leaves the top 15, it’s hard to get back

Is this the year the selection committee uses sites like KenPom and Jeff Sagarin as tools to determine seeding?

Or is it still being used for experimental purposes only?

Sure would be nice to be used this season.

Jeff Sagarin-9
KenPom-11
